Product Information
Full details
These premium PBT keycaps are designed for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts seeking durability and enhanced aesthetics. The key benefit is their long-lasting construction and the unique pudding style that amplifies RGB lighting effects. A potential caveat is the reliance on MX-style switches for compatibility, meaning not all keyboards are supported. Key features include doubleshot PBT construction, translucent sides for RGB diffusion, and universal compatibility with MX-style switches and standard bottom rows.

FAQs
What material are the Aura V3 keycaps made from?
They are made from premium PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) polymer, known for its durability and resistance to shine.
Will these keycaps fit my non-Glorious keyboard?
Yes, if your keyboard uses MX-style mechanical switches and has a standard bottom row layout (ANSI or ISO).
How does the 'pudding' style affect RGB lighting?
The translucent sides of the keycaps allow your keyboard's RGB lighting to shine through and diffuse, creating a glowing effect around each key.
Are the legends on these keycaps painted on?
No, the legends are created using the doubleshot molding process, meaning they are permanently part of the keycap and will not wear off.
Do these keycaps support both Windows and Mac layouts?
The keycaps support both ANSI and ISO physical layouts, which are common across different operating systems. You would still use your OS's software for key mapping.
How should I clean these keycaps?
Wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. For a deeper clean, you can remove them and wash by hand in warm, soapy water, ensuring they are completely dry before reinstallation.
Can I mix these with other keycap sets?
You can mix and match them with other keycaps that also use MX-style stems and have a compatible profile.
Troubleshooting
Keycap does not fit onto the switch.
Verify that your keyboard uses MX-style switches. Ensure the keycap stem is aligned correctly with the switch stem and that no debris is obstructing the connection.
RGB lighting does not appear through the sides.
Ensure your keyboard's RGB lighting is enabled and configured. Check that the keycap is fully seated on the switch, allowing light to pass through the translucent portion.
Keycaps feel loose after installation.
Gently press down on the keycap again to ensure it is fully engaged with the switch stem. If the issue persists, the switch stem or keycap stem might be damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:

Care:
- Wipe gently with a slightly damp, soft cloth to remove dust or smudges.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the PBT material or legends.
- For deeper cleaning, remove keycaps and wash them by hand in warm, soapy water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
